Awesome machine! I saw one at ellison's open house a couple years ago without the sheetmetal, the machine is a beast.

It has 91 tools
12000 rpm HT spindle
1200 rpm turning option
Esprit full 5 axis cam software
Touch setter
In machine measuring probe
It also has bt40 dual contact spindle

You can say that again. The 1200rpm turning option alone costs more than a Haas VF-5!

Pretty awesome machine.

Sam,

That looks great!!! I am very proud for you.

Get us some pics/video of it running.

We are a job shop, we have some impeller work coming up.

Awesome machine.

I would be real excited to get some fixtures running on that.

Are you a seasoned Esprit user, if so what pro and cons do you have about the software and support?

Have fun

New to esprit as well as 5 axis, I normally use mastercam. I have to learn it pretty fast.

Oh. In that case, please do not post any videos.

Just kidding, nice machine! What made you decide on the Mori over Mazak, Matsuura, etc?

Love that one...I wonder who is immortalized in that photo, I hope it does not end up being their only claim to fame in the future.

Sam - just curious - why BT40 rather than CAT40? (All of the other options make perfect sense to me.)

Oh man, 1200 rpm turning capacity on that thing would just make for too much fun. Way jealous!
